The layered look is still wildly popular for Fall 2010, so it’s probably time you learned the right way to wear layers — especially if you’re curvy. From both a fashion and a frugal standpoint, I love this layering technique that Anthropologie is demonstrating above, taking a summer dress and adding layers to make three more warmer autumn and winter looks. But there’s one small problem. The model is super thin. If curvy women like me — with breasts, a short waist, and hips — try to layer clothes like this, we often look like walking, talking sloppy frumpfests of clothing. So, ladies with curves, let’s talk about how to layer clothes to our advantage. When you’re a combination of 5’ 10" and 125 pounds like the model above probably is, what’s a few extra layers, right? However, many women with curves need to accentuate their waistlines as much as possible — even in the autumn and winter — unless they’re cool with adding ten or twenty shapeless pounds to their physiques. And I don’t know many women who are cool with that. Done right, layering can actually mask any soft, round areas you’re trying to play down. Here are eight tips for creating the layered look and NOT at the expense of your rockin’ curvy body: What do you think of the layered look? Any good tips you can share? Image via Anthropologie
